Explain Your Newest Avatar

This is a cute piece of crossover fanart I found showing Solaire of Astora meeting Amaterasu. Here's the source.

I don't know why, but I started rewatching a bunch of Whammy animations from Press Your Luck (mostly from the 2019 reboot and Whammy) and I got attached to the aesthetic and wanted to make it my icon.

This is SNT, a Sonic the Hedgehog fan character who combines the features of Sonic, Knuckles and Tails. She was originally a straight-up Mary Sue, but her creator eventually retooled her into a Parody Sue instead whose "specialness" has more realistic consequences for the world around her.

Cruelty Squad has the right aesthetic for me. And that aesthetic is P A I N

This is the man with no name.

It's essentially my HGS Author Avatar, who's a shapeshifter, in a Sonic-themed form. It's a fox cause I like foxes.

So most of my Terraria player characters are just modelled off of characters from other fiction, either I like them and/or there's like some in-joke meme stuff to them (Hank and Quimby). Lately I've been doing a thing where I change my avatar for each death I have in The Binding of Isaac, and more-lately I've started cycling through the "sources" of my Terraria characters (PC, I have it on Wii U a long time ago but I don't want to dig it up), in the order I made them. Every avatar on my gallery from Paimon onwards is a part of this. I'm on Zoe right now. Zoe is an eldritch horror that's also a giant fangirl of lots of things and obsessed with fanfiction, and she's from this completely insane Black Comedy dating sim. Plus her design reminds me of at least two characters I've made and I like that^note An "anti-forest elemental" or something along those lines that I haven't put in to anything (that was planned to be purple, have black eyes, and reside in an "eldritch" looking world); and this ultra-powerful demon that's introduced in a way similar to Zoe is seen in this ending. In Terraria, this was my last 1.3 character before the 1.4 update. I was going to just go with one of her default images but I decided to take a crop from her PROPHET ending because why not, she looks badass here and I like badass. I also actually like the whole route that leads to the ending, it takes a story about an otherworldly horror of darkness and her cult and makes something pretty lighthearted and sweet out of it.

After I switched to this avatar I got this broken Isaac run as one of the most difficult characters added in the latest expansion (Tainted Lost), getting three of his hardest completion marks because I spent like 80% of the run as an invincible giant. I'm not sure if I should be worried, I switch my avatar to an eldritch horror and suddenly I get really good Isaac luck. Did I sell my soul or something?

This is a Sylveon I have in Pokémon GO, evolved from a lucky Eevee my older sibling traded me. I named him Robin after Robin Goodfellow (AKA Puck).

Kit from Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

Milk Cow, a very weird toy featured in an episode of Bootleg Zones. It comes with a laser rifle that you're supposed to aim at a sensor on it's back to make it walk. Said gun also makes sounds claiming that in doing so, you're saving hostages. Apparently, the cow took hostages.

So I recently decided to start using my Twitch for art streaming again, this time more casually. I still want it to look nice though, and plan to DIY as much of the overlay as possible... starting with the PNGTuber. I wasn't sure how long it would take me to make one, though, so I cobbled together a placeholder, of which this is the speaking frame.

I ended up getting the real deal done enough to be usable (albeit unshaded) before the placeholder would have seen use, but I'm still way too proud of the joke.

This is Rivet and Kit from Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart facing down one of Mass Effect's Reapers, referencing the fact that FemShep and Rivet are both voiced by Jennifer Hale. Source here.

Billy Flynn from Chicago, having just finished cross-examining a particularly damning witness, here represented as a tap dance.

Billy is an extremely charismatic and charming fella. He's also a showy, conceited Amoral Attorney who will say and do anything to get you off scot-free so long as you can pay him his fee. Unfortunately for the state of Chicago's legal system, he's very good at what he does.

I made a twelve-color (so far) rainbow of sloppy MS Paint Homer Simpson "emotes" based on the Shrek emotes of this The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time speedrunner ZFG (he had a green happy one, a red mad one, a blue sad one, and a purple smug one; plus Halloween jack-o-lantern, Christmas snowman, and a gold one... I think, going off of memory here), this is the "first" of them by my color order, I like starting with rose rather than red since I think that looks nicer. The red, yellow, blue, and magenta ones are mad, happy/"default," sad, and smug like the ZFG Shrek emotes, but the others are more original. Rose Homer is "flustered," and the more often I die in The Binding of Isaac the quicker I'll go through and exhaust them. (I recently died back-to-back so the next one is already in queue, I'm just waiting a bit on that so I have some time with this avatar.) There might be some lore in some Crack Fic I'll do about Homer Heads but for now I have nothing and the chance of that happening is slim.

I already posted the full sheet on the Discord server of Bionicbandit, someone who is drawing fanart of just about everything (enemies, NPCs, summons, pets, and mounts) in Terraria, and I posted a link to that upload in the Wiki Sandbox a while back, so technically it's possible to see them all before I upload them as individual avatars. You'll just have to dig around a bit. I might tweak one of them (chartreuse/nauseated) so that it fits the "all one color hue" scheme of the others, though.

I have not made a gold, jack-o-lantern, or snowman one yet, but I might. I was also thinking of doing "Homers" that are based on other characters.

Why Homer? He's kind of a "meme character" of mine, or at least he's... planned to be the butt of a lot of in-jokes. Like the "Homer Head" lore might be (I haven't decided for sure yet) that is that there are artificially-made entities that are Waddling Head beings. So this might not be a crop of Homer's head just shaded pink, it might be a pink being shaped like Homer's head with his personality, but is its own distinct being. Although I didn't include the feet/shoes...

This and the previous avatar◊ are Rookie, Project SNT's depiction of the default Custom Hero from Sonic Forces. In the "SNT Forces" series, he gets shunted out of reality so SNT can take his place in the game's story, but remains in a ghost-like state where he can advise her and help her control the Phantom Ruby's power.

This is the swimsuit version of Fate/Grand Order's Katsushika Hokusai, who's a Saber here (she's normally in the Foreigner class). FYI, she isn't a Historical Gender Flip, as the girl here is Hokusai's daughter, Oui, and the actual Hokusai is the octopus thing (as seen squirting ink at her) but most people just refer to her as Hokusai.

Here, she wants to be a swordswoman since her father told her that she's descended from samurai and ends up being one of the main characters of the game's (as of I write this) ongoing event in the NA server, Summer 4 (which is about fighting six other Swordsbeauties - lady Servants in suits that run their own casinos - in Las Vegas). I chose this specific pic of Hokusai getting squirted by her dad since I found it pretty funny.

This is Deimos from Madness Combat. This image comes from a mod that replaces Boyfriend from Friday Night Funkin'. I like his up pose because he looks so cute doing that.

This is Momo from the "Magic Cat Academy" Google doodles. She's a cat witch who uses her spells to fight evil ghosts. Thanks to jandn2014 for sharing her!

I guess since I'm using the avatar now, might as well post here.

This is the Masked Lady also known as Celia from Deemo. She's a mysterious and reclusive person who lives with the titular Deemo.

Not my newest, but I know stuff about them. (And the rules say that shared avatars are annexeption if we lack info.)

It’s official artwork of the wandering trader. They travel from village to village, encountering players along the way. They sell stuff found in nature, making them more available, and some stuff renewable and/or less dangerous to obtain. I have them ‘cuz I like their design and behind-the-scenes info, and I reckon they are pretty goddamn overhated.

- this is another Deimos avatar. This is how he looks in the Madness Combat short Experiment

- This is Sanford. He's Deimos's partner up until Deimos's death. In MADNESS: Project Nexus 2, he shares the same voice as Tankman.

This is Amanda Young from the Saw Series. She was a drug addict targeted by Jigsaw and got in the Reverse Bear-trap. She survived by gutting a dude and getting the key. After she survived and integrated by the police, she became Jigsaw's disciple. She was quite close with him and saw him as a Parental Substitute but she still had mental problems (in fact it's believed that alongside from Stockholm Syndrome, she suffered from BPD) and they both died in Saw III.

Fun fact, I used to simp for her before I got into Marie Antoinette and even wrote a fanfic series that's based around her surviving Saw III. Now, I'm back into the Saw Series thanks to Spiral. This pic of her is when IIRC she just killed Adam and I thought she looked cool here, so this will be my first 'Mandy avatar.

Rewatched Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling and had a lot of feelings about Rachel's Character Development since the OG series.

A Hunchback HBK-4G from BattleTech. This screenshot is from MechWarrior: Online.

A 50-ton Medium BattleMech built specifically for close-quarters fighting. Its main distinguishing feature is, well, the hunch. It houses a gigantic Autocannon/20, giving it a massive firepower at short ranges. For context, the cannon itself weighs 14 tons before ammunition, making it about 1/3 the weight of the entire 'Mech. It does have a complement of Medium and Small Lasers as secondary weapons, but those might as well be flashlights compared to the AC/20. These, alongside a rather thick armor for its class, means it'll get outrun by anything that's not a Heavy or Assault 'Mech. The short effective range of its weapons also leave it impotent in long-distance combat.

It looks stupid, carries a gun intended for 'Mechs twice its size, and is pretty much useless outside of cramped urban combat. Just the way I like it.
